L oc ks &  AlarmKEYS AND HANDSETS 
You have been supplied with two remote 
handsets with integral keys which operate all 
locks and an emergency key, designed to fit into 
a wallet or purse. The emergency key can be 
used to open the doors and start the engine, but 
has no remote functionality.
NOTE: The emergency key should not be used 
for extended periods of time.
The keys supplied with your vehicle are 
programmed to your security system - they 
CANNOT be re-programmed and the engine 
cannot be started without a key programmed to 
your vehicle. If a key is lost or broken, a 
replacement can only be obtained from a Land 
Rover dealer.
NOTE: Land Rover dealers do not stock spare 
keys, time has to be allowed for replacements 
to be programmed to your security system and 
then delivered to the dealer.
If you lose a key, contact your Land Rover 
dealer; a key reported lost will be deactivated. If 
the key is recovered, your dealer can have it 
reactivated.
WARNING
Keep the Security card, emergency key and 
spare handset key in a safe place - NOT IN 
THE VEHICLE!
ALARM SYSTEM
Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated 
electronic anti-theft alarm and engine 
immobilisation system. There are also a 
number of additional security features, some of 
which are selectable options and some are 
standard features of the vehicle. In order to 
ensure maximum security and operating 
convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a 
full understanding of the features and 
alternatives available, by thoroughly reading 
this section of the handbook.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY ALWAYS 
SUPERLOCK THE VEHICLE (except when 
passengers are to be left inside, in which 
case they must lock the vehicle using the 
interior locking switch).
If it is necessary to leave a window or 
sunroof open, lock the vehicle by pressing 
the lock button (or turning the key) twice.

Using the remote handset
While it is not necessary to point the handset at 
the vehicle, the handset must be within range of 
the vehicle when a button is pressed. Note that 
the operating range may vary depending upon 
handset battery condition and may sometimes 
be limited by physical and geographical factors 
beyond your control. From a security point of 
view, it may not be wise to unlock unless you 
are in close proximity to the vehicle. Handset buttons
The three buttons on the handset are used as 
follows:
1.Lock button: Press to superlock all doors 
and to activate the perimetric alarm and 
interior space protection and activate the 
tilt sensor (see ‘Superlocking’, page 13 
and ‘Tilt Sensor’, page 13).
Press twice to superlock all doors and 
activate the perimetric alarm, but NOT 
activate interior space protection and tilt 
sensor.
Press and hold to activate the lazy locking 
facility (see ‘Lazy locking/unlocking*’, 
page 17).
2.Unlock button: Press once to disarm the 
alarm and unlock the driver’s door. Press 
again to unlock the remaining doors (see 
‘Single point entry’, page 15).
Press once to activate the memory seats, 
mirrors and steering column settings (see 
‘DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY*’, 
page 32). This will also activate the lazy 
unlocking facility (see ‘Lazy 
locking/unlocking*’, page 17).
3.Tailgate button: Press to unlock the 
tailgate and to disarm the interior space 
protection. All other apertures remain 
locked and the perimetric protection on 
the other apertures remains armed.
Press and hold to activate the panic 
alarm
*.
4.Handset indicator light: Flashes once for 
each press of any handset button, as 
confirmation of operation.

Locking
Shut all doors, bonnet and tailgate, then press 
the lock (Land Rover) button once or turn the 
key in the driver’s door lock towards the rear of 
the vehicle once:
• all doors are superlocked (see 
‘Superlocking’, page 13)
•engine immobilised
•perimetric alarm activated (protects the 
doors, bonnet and taildoor)
•interior space protection activated 
•tilt sensor activated
The direction indicator lights flash once and the 
anti-theft alarm indicator light (below the 
rear-view mirror) starts to flash to confirm that 
the vehicle is secure.
Unlocking with the remote handset
•Press the unlock (arrow) button once to 
disarm the alarm and unlock the drivers 
door only (see ‘Single point entry’, 
page 15).
•Press the unlock button twice to disarm the 
alarm and unlock ALL the doors.
In either case, the interior lights illuminate and 
the direction indicators flash twice.
Unlocking with the key
After a handset lock: 
Turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards 
the front of the vehicle to unlock the driver’s 
door - the alarm will sound when the door is 
opened. Unlocking the door using the key will 
not disarm the alarm - press the unlock button 
on the handset, or turn the starter switch to 
position ‘II’, to disarm the alarm.
After a key lock: 
Turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards 
the front of the vehicle to unlock the driver’s 
door and disarm the alarm. Turn the key a 
second time to unlock the other doors.Superlocking
WARNING
For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if 
passengers are to remain inside the vehicle - 
in an emergency they would not be able to 
escape. Also, any movement from within the 
vehicle would activate the alarm, if interior 
space protection has been activated.
Superlocking is activated automatically 
whenever the vehicle is locked using either the 
handset or the key. 
Superlocking immobilises the interior door 
handles, thereby preventing an intruder from 
gaining entry by smashing a window and 
reaching inside the vehicle to operate the door 
handles. 
If superlocking is required, but NOT interior 
space protection, press the lock button twice 
within 10 seconds (or turn the key towards the 
rear of the vehicle twice within the same time 
period).
Tilt Sensor
Your vehicle is fitted with a tilt sensor which 
activates the alarm if the vehicle is tilted fore 
and aft, or side to side, after it has been 
superlocked. 
The alarm will sound if theft is attempted by 
hoisting onto another vehicle or if a side is lifted 
to attempt wheel removal.
If you wish to have the doors locked but the tilt 
sensor disabled (eg. when aboard a ferry or 
having the vehicle transported on a recovery 
truck) press the lock button twice within 
10 seconds (or turn the key in the driver’s door 
lock towards the rear of the vehicle twice within 
10 seconds).

Partial arming
If the driver’s door is not fully closed when the 
handset lock button is pressed, all closed doors 
will lock, but the driver’s door will not. If the 
driver’s door is subsequently closed, the 
locking procedure must be repeated to lock the 
driver’s door.
If a passenger door or other aperture is not fully 
closed when the handset lock button is 
pressed, the ‘partial arming’ attributes of the 
security system will enable as much of the 
system to be armed as possible (all fully closed 
door, bonnet or tailgate apertures will be 
protected, but an open door will not!). As soon 
as the open aperture is closed, the system will 
automatically revert to an armed state, with 
interior space protection activating 30 seconds 
after all apertures are closed. Anti-theft alarm indicator light
The light provides information about the status 
of the alarm system, as follows:
When the alarm is armed: 
The light flashes at a slow frequency and 
continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent 
until the alarm is disarmed. 
If interior space protection is disabled when the 
alarm is armed (by a double operation of the 
lock button or key), the light will illuminate 
constantly for 1 second as confirmation.
When the alarm is partially armed (mislock):
The light flashes rapidly for 10 seconds, then 
flashes at a slower rate as an anti-theft 
deterrent until the alarm is disarmed.
If the alarm has been triggered:
When the alarm is triggered, the light flashes 
rapidly for 5 minutes, before returning to a slow 
frequency.
If the light flashes rapidly after the vehicle is 
unlocked, this indicates that the alarm has been 
triggered during the driver’s absence. The light 
will flash rapidly for 10 seconds.

If the alarm sounds
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm will sound 
for 30 seconds and the hazard warning lights 
will flash for 5 minutes, before switching off 
and resetting itself to the same protection 
status that existed prior to the alarm being 
triggered.
To silence the alarm, press the unlock button on 
the remote handset.
Single point entry
This is a personal security feature, which 
enables the drivers door only to be unlocked, 
leaving the other doors in a locked state. It can 
be operated by the remote handset as follows:
•press the unlock button once to unlock the 
drivers door (or turn the key in the driver’s 
door lock towards the front of the vehicle, if 
the vehicle was locked using the key).
•press the unlock button (or turn the key) a 
second time to unlock the remaining doors.
When the vehicle is unlocked using single point 
entry, if the interior locking button is then 
pressed, the driver’s door will relock. A second 
press is required to unlock all the doors.
Single point entry can be disabled on all 
handset keys, or on individual handset 
keys, by a Land Rover dealer.Interior locking switch
This is a personal security feature which allows 
the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from 
inside the vehicle (while driving or with the 
vehicle stationary). Press the switch to lock (the 
alarm will not be armed) or unlock.
NOTE: If the locks have already been 
superlocked, the switch will not release the 
locks.

Interior door handles and door sill locking 
buttons
From inside the vehicle, each door can be 
individually locked by depressing the 
appropriate door sill button. However, doors 
cannot be unlocked by raising the sill button.
Use the door handles to unlock, as follows:
•First operation of the door handle unlocks 
the door.
•Second operation of the door handle opens 
the door.
When the interior locking switch is activated, all 
door locking buttons will be depressed 
automatically.Interior space protection
Interior space protection is activated whenever 
the alarm is armed.
WARNING
Never activate interior space protection if 
windows or sunroof are to be left open, or if 
passengers or animals are to be left inside 
the vehicle - any movement will activate the 
alarm.
Interior space protection is designed to protect 
the interior of the vehicle from intrusion (entry 
by a thief through a smashed window, for 
example). A pair of sensors monitors the 
interior space and activate the alarm if air 
movement is detected in the passenger 
compartment.
NOTE: Interior space protection cannot be 
activated if a door is open. 
Disabling interior space protection:
If there is a requirement to disable interior 
space protection (if a window or sunroof is to 
be left open, for example), press the lock button 
twice within 10 seconds. If locking with the key, 
turn the key in the driver’s door lock towards 
the rear of the vehicle twice within 10 seconds.

Speed-related locking*
This security feature locks all the doors 
automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 
10 mph (16 km/h). 
Note speed-related locking is not selectable by 
the driver, and that operation of the door locks 
by any other means (interior locking switch on 
the fascia panel, for example) will unlock the 
doors. Speed related locking can be configured 
by your dealer to automatically relock the doors 
after they are unlocked, when the vehicle speed 
exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).
Speed related locking can be selected, 
deselected or reconfigured for individual 
handset keys, by a Land Rover dealer.
Automatic relock
*
If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote, but 
no door or tailgate is opened, after 2 minutes 
the vehicle will relock (but not superlock), but 
the alarm will not be re-armed.
Automatic relock can be selected or 
deselected by a Land Rover dealer.
Panic alarm
*
If the tailgate unlock button (see ‘Using the 
remote handset’, page 12) is pressed and held, 
the alarm will sound and the hazard warning 
lights will flash (market permitting). This 
feature is to draw attention to the vehicle and 
driver, to deter potential thieves/attackers. 
The panic alarm facility can be selected or 
deselected by a Land Rover dealer.Lazy locking/unlocking
*
WARNING
Accidental closing of an electrically operated 
window or sunroof on fingers, hands or any 
vulnerable part of the body, can result in 
serious injury. Always observe the following 
precautions:
ENSURE that you have a clear view of all open 
apertures on the vehicle and that all apertures 
are unobstructed, before activating the lazy 
locking feature.
ENSURE children are kept clear whilst raising 
or lowering windows and opening or closing 
the sunroof.
ENSURE that all adult passengers are familiar 
with the controls and the potential dangers of 
electrically operated windows and sunroof.
NOTE: In some markets, the lazy lock/unlock 
feature is NOT available using the handset, the 
key must be used.
‘Lazy’ locking or unlocking enables you to use

2.Release the button or key when the 
windows and sunroof are open as 
required. 
Lazy locking/unlocking can be selected or 
deselected by a Land Rover dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of 
the security system, it is designed to safeguard 
the vehicle from theft, should the driver forget 
to lock the doors and prevents the engine from 
being started unless the GENUINE handset key 
or emergency key is inserted into the starter 
switch. Engine immobilisation is automatic 
whenever any of the following conditions 
occur.
•The vehicle is locked using handset or key.
•Three seconds after the starter switch has 
been turned off AND the drivers door 
opened.
•If the key is removed from the starter 
switch.
NOTE: The engine will be re-mobilised 
automatically whenever the genuine handset 
key is inserted into the starter switch and 
turned to position ‘I’.
REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY
WARNING
The handset contains delicate electronic 
circuits and must be protected from impact 
and water damage, high temperatures and 
humidity, direct sunlight and the effects of 
solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.
The battery should last for approximately three 
years dependent upon use. When the battery 
needs replacing it will be apparent from the 
following symptoms:
•‘KEY BATTERY LOW’ will be displayed in the 
main message centre.
•A gradual deterioration in range and 
performance.
Always fit a Panasonic CR2016 replacement 
battery (available from a Land Rover dealer).
Battery replacement
1.With the handset face down, insert the 
blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver 
into the slot at the rear of the handset and 
prise the screw cover upwards.
2.Remove the two screws and carefully 
remove the back of the handset.
3.Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to 
prise the battery from its mounting (see 
illustration), taking care to avoid touching 
the circuit board or the metal battery 
contacts.
4.Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct 
polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). 
Finger marks will adversely affect battery 
life; if possible, avoid touching the flat 
surfaces of the battery and wipe them 
clean before fitting.
